Omi-Maiko - a swim and a lesson: the Japanese holidays are over!


It is so hot! Where can we swim?


On the west side of Japan´s largest fresh water lake - Biwa-ko - is the small town and beach Omi-Maiko. We arrived in early afternoon.



The beach and the water was lovely, but all hotels and restaurants were closed! The Japanese holidays are over. We did not expect the closure to be so complete, because the weather is still very hot.



But we found a very small restaurant open - and the nice owners helped us find lodging for the night.
